Making a (quick) commit to another branch

Hi guys,

I love git. And I use it every day. But there is one minor thing, that
bugs me a little bit:
I am implementing something on a feature branch. Now I detect a minor
typo/bug/whatever that just needs a one line commit.

But of course I don't want to add that commit to my feature branch.
Instead I'd like to commit that fix directly to another branch (e.g.
master).

Unfortunately that take a lot of steps to make this happen:
- - comitting
- - stashing other changes
- - changing branch
- - cherry-picking commit
- - switching branches back
- - reverting latest commit
- - unstashing changes

I'd love to solve this by having an option for git commit that gives
me the possibility to commit to another branch:


git commit thefixedfile.txt -m "fixed a typo" -b master



Any ideas/hints?


Thanks,

Johannes
